Cummings wins handily in Snohomish County prosecutor race
EVERETT — Amid persistent rhetoric about rising crime, Snohomish County voters appeared to side with a top civil deputy prosecutor over an outside Republican with a tough-on-crime approach and little courtroom experience in the race for prosecuting attorney.
Jason Cummings, a Democrat, was leading Brett Rogers 57.7% to 42.2% after Tuesday’s vote count. Cummings had over 104,000 votes to Rogers’ 76,000.
The winner will replace Adam Cornell, who chose not to seek re-election after a single four-year term. In 2018, Cornell ran unopposed.
Cummings emphasized his experience over Rogers, a former Seattle cop who lives in Lake Stevens. This could be Rogers’ third failed run in as many years, losing a race for attorney general in 2020 and a run for Lake Stevens School Board in 2021.
